Rolo (Redbrick Rolo)

born Oct 21

Described as soft as Oat. Delightful. Four attempts to get his career started to no avail, Rolo has been lozzicking at his trainers expense since March 24.

Playful, sweet and first to give a cuddle. There won’t be a dry eye in the house when he leaves.

“Rolo has been in foster for less than 2 weeks and has settled into homelife super well, he is a very affectionate boy and a people person, who likes to make sure he can see us when he knows we are around. He has been clean in the house from day one, he immediately knew to go outside to toilet, he had one or two accidents when the door wasn’t left open for him, but he is learning that we will come and let him out.

At night, he has been sleeping in our bedroom at the side of the bed as he is happier being near us and sleeps all night when he is. On the odd time he has needed the toilet in the night, he has let us know.

Rolo travels well, lays down in the car and likes to look out of the back window as we drive along.  Teaching him to jump into the car is a work in progress, but it’s still very early days.

Rolo has been living with 2 other greyhounds, a male and female, and has been great with them. He likes to be around them both and they will all often play together in the garden.  Having come direct from kennels, Rolo is a little unsure of other breeds and can get excited when he sees them. He has had a couple of larger breed dogs approach him off-lead and has shown no issues. As with most Greyhounds, his socialisation with other breeds is a work in progress but he is showing all the signs that he will be fine.  Other breeds are understandably very interesting to him at the moment and he can get excited on the lead when they go past him, he just wants to follow them.  Rolo will bark at other dogs if they bark at him first but does nothing more. 

Rolo LOVES cuddles and being fussed.  He also loves “borrowing” things!  Anything from socks and slippers to the TV remote and my glasses, he just takes them to his bed, it’s an adorable trait! He doesn’t chew things up or wreck anything, he can put his paws up on the counter but doesn’t take food or items from the kitchen sides. Rolo loves his walks and playing with Oscar. He is totally obsessed with himself, he loves seeing his own reflection in the windows, oven and TV! He is a nosey hound, who likes to put his paws up on the windowsill to watch the neighbours walk past!

Rolo is fine being left for a couple of hours. He paces for a couple of minutes and then gets in bed, saying that he does prefer to be around his humans.  If we had to sum Rolo up in one sentence we’d say, “he is an absolute dream” who would suit a first time Greyhound or dog owner, providing they had done some research about the breed.  We think Rolo could live happily with another sighthound or as an only dog”.

Boost (Reserved)

Boost (Redbrick Boost)

born Oct 21

Quiet enough fellow. Enough brains to know when and how to quit the ring. Boost won four races but frankly we don’t think his heart was in it. Just another black dog, sitting in his kennel awaiting a family to overlook his colour. Not too big at 31 kgs. Boost is the last of the family to be rehomed and has moved up to Scotland to see if he can attract some interest.

Boost is a quiet and friendly boy who walks calmly on his lead. Boost would benefit from being rehomed with a female Greyhound. We will be able to assess him once he has settled. Although the facilities seem to have met with his approval and the food is epic..

He has been waiting a year now. Time he was gone.
Cracking looking fellow.

Henry (Battletime)

Born June 2019

Henry has been waiting for his family to show up for eighteen months. We are told he would be a great family dog. He isn’t as big as the some of the other males but made up for it in courage. Twenty-four wins is nothing to be sniffed at. His colour is against him as is his age.

“Henry is a little poppet with a gorgeous face.  He’s very small for a boy.  So small in fact that we had to go back to the car (when he wasn’t looking!) and get the harness we normally reserve for the girls!  Henry is very affectionate and friendly.  He stood calmly when we put his harness on and walked beautifully on his lead, never pulling once.  Henry isn’t a nervous boy, but he does like to “check in” with you on a walk, which is very sweet.  We passed a collie whilst walking Henry and despite the collie barking, all Henry did was prick up his ears and look with interest.  A really, lovely boy who his trainer tells us is brilliant with kids”.

A lovely lovely type.

Geronimo (Nametab Geronimo)

born March 2021

Well, the jury is still out on the name!  A lovely lovely quiet steady dog. We haven’t told him but he has a date with a vet in a week or so. It’ll make a man of him!

He isn’t a Westmead Hawk or a Warzone Tommy but with nine wins, his record is nothing to be ashamed of. Geronimo last graced a track in March. It was a bumpy race and our friend finished out with the washing. Time to call it a day.  Geronimo is in beautiful condition and is a huge favourite on the yard.

Ned (Diamond Ned)

born May 2022

Cracking Fellow.  Right, this boy is an absolute joy to be around. He is happy just to be in your company and takes pleasure in just being out and about. A sweet joyous dog.

Still a baby really. His mother could bore for England about his talents, his looks, his exam results. This is solely down to the fact that he is the only kid that achieved anything. The rest of the litter was dire.

Ned makes everyone smile. We cannot put it any better than that.
